I'm about to finish "Beginning Perl" by James Lee. http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Perl-Second-James-Lee/dp/159059391X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217873468&sr=8-3 Incredible book - I can't say enough good things about it.

My questions is, what book should I read next to further my knowledge. I figured "Intermediate Perl" by Randal Schwartz http://www.amazon.com/Intermediate-Perl-Randal-L-Schwartz/dp/0596102062/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217873468&sr=8-4 would be the next logical step. However, there doesn't seem to be any chapters on CGI or DBI...that seems weird.

I thought the Perl Cookbook by Tom Christiansen http://www.amazon.com/Perl-Cookbook-Second-Tom-Christiansen/dp/0596003137/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217873468&sr=8-5 would be more focused on teaching examples rather than building on the fundamentals. But when i looked in the book, it seemed like it teaches you about a concept, then follows up with a real world example. This is really appealing to me.

If you are interested in CGI programming then I suggest you search for books that specifically cover that topic and its not just a chapter or two in a larger book. I don't have any specific suggestion though.

The Perl Cookbook is good if you already know some perl. -------------------------------------------------
